"The Item" is a 'fantasy blockbuster' drama about two men and women with intertwined fates, who delve into the conspiracies and secrets surrounding objects with special supernatural powers. It is based on a popular Kakao webtoon of the same title. The drama will be written by Jeong I-do-I of "Save Me", and PD Kim Seong-wook-I of "Goodbye Mr. Black" has signed on as well.

Ju Ji-hoon takes on the role of Kang Gon, a criminal prosecutor working at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office. He is a strong, but tender man with a warm, just heart. In order to save his niece, Da-in, who is more precious to him than life itself, he gets entangled in the conspiracies and secrets of the titular The Items.

According to an exclusive piece by The Daily Sports, a drama official has stated that Kim Kang-woo has joined "The Item" as villain Cho Se-hwang, a young businessman known as 'Korea's Elon Musk'. An icon of innovation on the surface, Se-hwang is a highly intelligent sociopath who kills anyone in order to collect the The Items, while leaving no evidence.

Jin Se-yeon plays profiler Shin So-yeong. Unlike her pompous demeanor, she is a sensible person with good judgment, and outstanding ability, who does not even flinch at the sight of gruesome crime scenes. She will be joining Kang Gon in discovering the secrets of the The Items. "The Item" will be following "Less Than Evil" on MBC in January.
